The sweet revenge

                 

       This is could be a late  post as the movie was released  two years ago!!!

"..Ohh you didn't watch the movie yet??!!! Ok come lets watch it today." That will make it the fifth time I will be watching the movie. I watched it before all the awards were announced for the movie. Well, that's not a big deal, all of us do it, is what you might be thinking and it is true. For me, the movie is special and the first review I heard about it is that it can be reciprocated to a beautiful short story. Beauty, which is imbibed in all the frames. The shades of green, which is a treat to the eyes.

The story is set in the district of Idukki, Kerala. What makes it interesting to me is the thread of realism that is woven in the storyline. Right from the name of the characters that are Christians, but do not keep conventional Christian names. That is how it is there form what I have observed. The people there are the epitome of innocence, pristine like the place. The characters in the movie show the true colour of the place with minimal makeup of course. The most interesting thing in the movie is a scene where there is a clear reference to the old Malayalam proverb 'unnan vilikumbozha ashrarikk kott koodunath’ (the carpenter works the most when it is time for lunch). This came as a revelation to me the fifth time I watched the movie.

All these have made me fall in love with the movie over and again. That will be my revenge to the sweet revenge aka 'Maheshinte Prathikaram'.
